right now in England at, or just after a 50 yr reunion for my entry highschool class - wonderful to see old friends and iced by having our teacher join us! A regal lady who still commands the same attention. Actually, quite an amazing event...

... finished the high school reunion and now north of London visiting a college friend who lives in a small farm house deep in the English countryside. I feel like I'm relaxing for the first time in months... too bad its only 2 nights...

We still have four competitions to do this year,. we are off to Perth next week end and two weeks after that in Sydney and then a local comp and early December in Melbourne which will be the alst for the year. the next travel will be to Bali for a Holiday.

In total we have traveled 10 times this year.

I'm at Heathrow now, about to fly back to Toronto. What a trip, and no major mishaps thus far - except perhaps programming my GPS incorrectly this morning and going off in the opposite direction! Still, made it fine.

Last event was a family gathering to scatter our parents ashes - and to celebrate their lives with a marvelous party. Looking forward to getting home tho...

There is always regional variation - as is most obvious when you go to Europe They are grossly underrated on DSI compared to elsewhere I think.

Well we were not marked back in any dance when we got to the Semi after being marked back by all judges in the early rounds it does make you question, but you cant attack the umpire, I just have to dance better to give them no choice!

That's it. A lot of scoring goes on minute differences, positive or negative, you have to loose one and gain the other
